Abstract

Harnessing renewable energy resources has substantially speeded up the process of rural energy planning in India, where about 80% of the total energy is supplied by noncommercial sources, the share of which is declining. In rural energy planning, with backward agriculture and high poverty levels, the choice of appropriate technology is essential. The present study deals with selecting appropriate alternate energy technologies with priorities to end-use activities in the agriculture and household sectors. The study is based on a field survey and the use of dynamic programming.
